The scientific literature on COVID-19 and its long-term impacts on all-body systems and their treatments is still limited. The aim of the study was to create a safe protocol-based intervention to improve functional and equilibrium abilities in older adults impacted by COVID-19. This study used a sample of 46 people (intervention group: n = 26; control group: n = 20). Resistance training (RT) was held twice a week, with 60 min per session for 8 weeks. The postural stability and quality of life questionnaire (WHQOOL) was completed during pre- and post-testing. The results indicated significant differences in overall stability index (OSI) with eyes open (EO), anterior-posterior stability index (APSI) EO, fall-risk index 6-2 (FRI6-2) values in males ( < 0.05), and APSI EO ( < 0.05) values in females compared to control groups, respectively. In the training, a significant improvement was reported in OSI EO and APSI EO ( < 0.05) female groups compared to baseline results and in FRI6-2 values in both gender groups ( < 0.01-men, < 0.05-women). The effect of the intervention was recorded in the intervention group in the OSI EO (Z = -3.12, < 0.01, R = 0.533) and FRI6-2 (Z = -2.06, < 0.05, R = 0.354). Additionally, significantly different reactions between the groups were observed in the psychological domain (DOM2) (Z = 2.194, < 0.028, R = 0.389), social relationship domain (DOM3) (Z = 2.051, < 0.0403, R = 0.361), and in question 2 concerning general health (Z = 3.309, < 0.0009, R = 0.535). The findings indicate that RT had a positive effect on older adults affected by COVID-19, led to a significant improvement in their postural stability, and had a significant impact on elements of psychological well-being and quality of life.
关于新冠病毒及其对全身系统的长期影响以及相关治疗方法的科学文献仍然有限。本研究的目的是制定一种基于安全方案的干预措施,以提高受新冠病毒影响的老年人的功能和平衡能力。本研究选取了46名参与者作为样本(干预组:n = 26;对照组:n = 20)。阻力训练(RT)每周进行两次,每次60分钟,共持续8周。在测试前和测试后完成姿势稳定性和生活质量问卷(WHQOOL)。结果表明,与对照组相比,男性在睁眼时的整体稳定性指数(OSI)、前后稳定性指数(APSI)、跌倒风险指数6-2(FRI6-2)值(<0.05),以及女性的APSI睁眼值(<0.05)存在显著差异。在训练中,与基线结果相比,女性组的OSI睁眼值和APSI睁眼值有显著改善(<0.05),且两性组的FRI6-2值均有显著改善(男性<0.01,女性<0.05)。干预组在OSI睁眼值(Z = -3.12,<0.01,R = 0.533)和FRI6-2(Z = -2.06,<0.05,R = 0.354)方面记录到了干预效果。此外,在心理领域(DOM2)(Z = 2.194,<0.028,R = 0.389)、社会关系领域(DOM3)(Z = 2.051,<0.0403,R = 0.361)以及关于总体健康的问题2(Z = 3.309,<0.0009,R = 0.535)中观察到了组间的显著不同反应。研究结果表明,阻力训练对受新冠病毒影响的老年人有积极作用,能显著改善他们的姿势稳定性,并对心理健康和生活质量的要素产生重大影响。
